On the day:

8. Use Buffer to schedule a few tweets to coincide with important points you’ll make when you are speaking (it will seem like magic!).

On stage:

9. Tell people your Twitter handle.

10. Encourage people to tweet – you can even prepare slides with content specifically for the audience tweet like a key statistic. This way they feel involved in your presentation.

11. Remind the audience about the event hashtag.

12. Invite people to tweet questions – you (or an assistant) can then check the twitter feed to answer these questions when appropriate.

13. Get someone to film your keynote – this becomes great content for your speaker reel, for feedback and for sharing or selling later.

14. Share the resources page link on your slides. If you’re not making a specific offer from the stage, then this is a great way to get people into your community and means they can share it with their friends.

15. Ask attendees if they’d like to receive your resources via email and opt-in to your newsletter (make it easy for them if they say yes and collect their business cards – a simple prize e.g. a bottle of wine works really well for this).

At the venue:

16. Answer further questions on social media.

17. When you’re mingling with attendees, connect with their social media accounts.

18. Get some photos to post on Twitter or LinkedIn. This really helps to humanize a presentation, and people love to see and share photos of themselves!

Follow up:

19. Reply to tweets.

20. Post photos to Facebook and tag the names of attendees if relevant.

21. Transcribe any business cards so you can market to these people long after the presentation is finished.

22. Email attendees the link to your resources page.

23. Send a thank you tweet, LinkedIn post, Facebook post and note to the organizer. This helps to close the loop, and increases the chances of you being invited back!

24. Connect with people on LinkedIn and ask for a few LinkedIn recommendations for your presentation.
